Time: 10:00 AM to 12:00 NN
Venue: Online via Zoom Webinars
We celebrate 500 years of Christianity in the Philippines with a forum on Fratelli Tutti (Brothers and Sisters All), Pope Francis’ encyclical where he speaks of “political love.” In this context, we examine the contrasting values of liberalism and populism in the Philippines.
Our objective is to highlight the similarities in the motivations and approaches of Christianity today and social liberalism as practiced in the country and to show how these counter crass populism.
